Principal UX Design AI Devices, Devices and Services Design

We’re looking for a design leader to join our growing Alexa AI Systems team— someone who is energized by the future of AI-powered products and passionate about shaping both the ideas and the products that bring them to life. This is a blended role, ideal for a design leader who thrives as a hands-on people manager. You will work at the front lines of invention, crafting product stories that explore bold, new directions in AI, then seeing them through to tangible hardware and software launches. You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional partners in Industrial Design, Engineering, Research, and Product Management to prototype, test, and scale new experiences that bridge physical and digital design. Key Job Responsibilities

Explore & Define: Lead early-stage concept development that pushes the boundaries of AI-powered interactions across hardware and software. Design with Intent: Craft compelling product narratives and user experiences that align emerging technologies with human needs. Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work fluidly between atoms and pixels—translating user insights and technical possibilities into integrated designs. Prototype & Build: Develop and iterate design solutions through hands-on prototyping and close partnership with engineering. Ship Impactful Products: Drive work from concept to execution and contribute to shipped products that customers love. Shape the Team: Depending on your track, mentor designers and/or help define the future of the team’s design culture, tooling, and methods. A Day in the Life

What You’ll Explore and Influence: Exploring new hardware and software opportunities powered by AI: You’ll lead design team efforts that imagine how AI can reshape the form and function of everyday objects. Going beyond the traditional GUI: We’re entering a post-GUI world—one where touchscreens and menus are no longer the center of every interaction. Designing for ambient, context-aware interfaces in the smart home: You’ll investigate how ambient computing can turn a smart home into a seamless, responsive, and emotionally intelligent environment. Creating a unified interaction model across screens, spaces, and devices: A key challenge—and opportunity—is building a design system that spans across a diverse ecosystem. Bridging the boundaries between industrial design and interaction design: This role sits at the intersection of form and function, and you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping both. Qualifications
